Welcome

Hi. My name is Nicolò. I was born in Italy, but I now live and work in Scotland. I was naturalised a British citizen in 2024. I am a software engineer by trade and a creator by passion.

I am a builder.

I love building things, be it with wood and hardware, or more often with modeling software and my trusted 3D printers. I like the satisfaction of assembling parts and creating something whose value and utility exceeds the simple sum of its components.

I am a tinkerer.

My passion for building does not stop there. I not only write my own software, in my own private local cloud. I also build and assemble my own personal computers, my home server, my micro controllers. Everything smart in our house is my creation. Tinkering is my call. Understanding how things work, taking them apart, and building them back again.

I am a story teller.

I love role playing. I created many worlds from scratch. I weave stories, wrap plots, tell the tales of those heroic characters brave or fool enough to follow along: my trusted friends and players. Imagination is without bounds, and so are the stories I tell. They are filled with mystery, emotion, yearning, curiosity, tragey, pain, remeption, hope and ultimately the joy of seeing it all come together.

I am a food seeker.

Why stopping there? Cooking is another one of my passion. Experimenting with cusines. In my kitchen, Italian, Scottish, Korean and Japanese food cultures blend together. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are those little moments of respite that I crave in a day. I am a food lover, and so is my wife. We travel often and our trips always revolve around food first: that is simply too sublime a pleasure to disregard as mere nourishment!

I am more than my interests.

My passions define how I spend my time, but they don’t fully define who I am. I am… so much more than that. Truth be told, to tell the whole story, it would take a lifetime. However, I hope that bits and pieces of me can filter out here, in my personal space; my little corner of the Internet. Yes, the Internet - do your remember it? I like to think that, despite the centralisation of apps and the enshittification of all search engines and the constant pollution of AI slop… the true Internet still exists. Somewhere out there. Lukcily, you just found a piece of it :) Enjoy!
